Project 81: Development of Industry Foundation Classes (IFCs) for Structural
Concrete Components ‐ Strategic Plan – PMC
PROJECT SUMMARY:
This project seeks to develop a strategic plan for the development of Industry
Foundation Classes (IFCs) for Structural Concrete Components to foster
interoperability between disparate Building Information Modeling (BIM) software
platforms. This is the initial step in the creation of an extensive suite of interoperable
attributes for the IFC exchanges of structural concrete components. The strategic
plan will synthesize the state of the art of current IFC interoperability and prioritize

the attribute exchanges that would most benefit the industry. This research is designed
to support the goal of creating advance tools and methods in the interoperability and
building information modeling arena. A white paper has been produced aggregating
this research and laying out a broad structure for the project group to discuss and
evolve at the Strategic Planning Session.
MISSION: The Applied Technology Council (ATC) is a nonprofit, tax-exempt
corporation established in 1973 through the efforts of the Structural Engineers
Association of California. ATC's mission is to develop and promote state-of-theart,
user-friendly engineering resources and applications for use in mitigating the
effects of natural and other hazards on the built environment. ATC also
identifies and encourages needed research and develops consensus opinions on
structural engineering issues in a nonproprietary format. ATC thereby fulfills a
unique role in funded information transfer..

WILLIAM M. KLORMAN continued …
The Mission...
The SDC shall facilitate advancement of concrete technology by:
� Providing a forum for visioning and prioritizing key challenges
facing the concrete industry;
� Assisting ACI in the introduction and timely adoption of
innovative technologies, problem solutions, and best practices; and
� Providing a framework for development of programs that respond
to industry opportunities and accelerate technology acceptance.
Since its founding in 1997, the SDC has facilitated consortia that have
united developers, producers, and customers on market-driven technology
needs and produced results that have advanced the state of concrete
construction technology.
More recently, the SDC has begun to focus attention on "industry critical
technologies" in the concrete industry and identify barriers to their
technology acceptance, and is beginning to concentrate resources to remove
those barriers.

Largest Concrete Pour in Recent History Completed in L.A
Los Angeles - W.M. Klorman Construction Corp., an El Monte-based design/build contractor,
completed one of the largest single concrete pours in recent memory at the Howard Hughes Center in
Los Angeles.
On Jan. 6, 110 concrete trucks converged on site at 7 a.m. In just under 12 hours, crews poured
approximately 500 cubic yards per hour totaling 5,600 cubic yards (or 22.7 million pounds) of concrete
and laid 700 tons of rebar, equivalent to 130 miles. Along with the trucks, six boom pumps, an 80-ton
crane and 225 workers worked in tight conditions more than three stories below street level.
"This pour is one of the largest we've been involved with," says Skip Keene, territory manager of
Southdown Concrete, Brea, who has been with the company for 20 years.
Designed by Daniel Mann Johnson Mendenhall, Los Angeles, the overall project footprint
encompasses nearly 100,000 square feet or 2.2 acres. A 12-story office building plus a heliport will rise
over a three-story subterranean parking structure that will connect to an eight-story parking structure.
Together, the three structures will total approximately 750,000 square feet of floor area. The office
building is scheduled to open in April 2002.
Lowe Enterprises Commercial Group is developing Howard Hughes Center for its owner, Arden
Realty. Swinerton & Walberg, Los Angeles, is the project's general contractor. The structural engineers
are KPFF of Los Angeles and Seneca Structural Engineering of Laguna Hills. Innovative Design Group of
Irvine is the parking consultant.

CITATION
“Aside from his effective participation in ACI activities on local and national levels, including his
membership and past chairmanship of the Board Committee on Responsibility in Concrete Construction,
Bill Klorman has been a major factor in promoting the design and construction of quality concrete
structures throughout California. His innovative and successful techniques in the planning and execution
of all types of major concrete construction have been inspirational for all those involved in the design and
construction of concrete buildings in California.”
